Calendar Hack

I have worked up a calendar hack at http://www.hedgehogwheels.com/forums/calendar.php

I am going to add a birthday option to the user profile and have the birthdays (of those who choose to set their birthday) shown on the calendar.

Anyone interested?

and don't ask me to turn it into a full-fledged date planner for your users cause I won't do it!

or maybe I will but I will have to think about the time that would take YUCK

I too am looking forward for this hack!

It is a stand alone file right now. You would have to modify member.php if you wanted the birthdays as it makes sense to allow the user to set their birthday in the profile, not in the calendar. Hopefully it will be nice enough that John would include it in a future release as it would go further in enhancing the "community" aspect of vBulletin.

i see, so by modifying member.php it would mean adding a new table to the forum database ?

eva, no, if you look for the birthday hack you will see that it modifies member.php and adds 1 field to the user table.

The calendar hack will require the birthday hack but not vice-versa. The calendar hack won't do any modifying of current files (at least I don't think so!) as that is being handled by the birthday hack. It will require a new table to be added to hold the calendar events (other than birthdays).

The hack looks fantastic. I'm still waiting to install any new hacks until John releases the new version, but this will be very high on my want list.

rangersfan,

whenever you're ready with the hack, I'll be here!

You guys can have it as it right now. The birthday hack isn't going to change and calendar.php is a stand alone file so it is nothing to use it right now with birthdays. When I get the next version done sometime this week you can just dl the new calendar.php and the upgrade.php that will create the new table to hold the user events.

Just download the birthday hack in this same forum and dl Calendar.txt and rename it to calendar.php. Make a link to calendar.php and away you go. The templates you need to make are listed at the top of calendar.txt

(if you click the link and see screwy code just view the source and copy/save it to calendar.php)

WOOHOO
Love you man!

BTW: did you get my email that I sent you this afternoon??

Hi rangersfan, I know, I am european time, and my weeknd is over....but I can't wait to see the new version...
